Really great write-up!!

There's one thing I'd have to disagree with though:
Show nested quote +

Twitch.TV: [...] On a less cynical note, they're also a gigantic winner for rescuing us from ESL.TV's terrible, terrible VOD page.

Why the ESL.TV hate?
1. The HSC VODs were up on the ESL.TV page before they were at Twitch, so they did a really good job of giving everyone fast access to the VODs.
2. I don't understand how you can call their page terrible. It certainly has its flaws (for example you could criticize that you can't watch just one specific match), but it's still much more clearly laid out and intuitive than Twitch, Own3d and even MLG. Once you figured it out, MLG may be better, but that's kinda personal taste I'd say. But I usually can't find any VOD I want on either Twitch or Own3d. And even if, that wouldn't make ESL.TV's page terrible.
This is not meant to hate on Twitch, their streams are really great and the extra 5k for HSC was an awesome move.

Look who is the team sponsor....
On the topic. Finding vods of HSC on twitch was harder than browsing esl.tv vod page. People were giving vod links here on forum cause they just didn't show on HSC twitch channel. Also no vods for stream 2 (dunno if they uploaded them finnaly) but even on third day we had some twich vods from stream 1 and ZERO vods from stream 2 from previous days.
And i really want to rewatch Stephano and Dimaga "KILL KILL KILL KILL" and "WELCOME TO EUROPE" vod...

No mention of Nerchio? He beat both violet and Hero, and I think if he didn't meet MC in the first playoff round he could have gotten even farther. Well, hes a winner in my book at least.

MKP vs violet series absent is a shame, easily one of the most remarkable series of the tournament.

I really laughed at this: "North America: HSC4 affirmed the following SC Hierarchy: Koreans > Koreans living outside Korea > Everyone Else > … > … > … > North America. Nonetheless, NA is not a loser, because really, who didn't know that already?" still, much love everyone.
keep it deep! @zulison

I think it's mostly because how the MC v Nerchio series went. He got raped so bad in his final series the end impression was kind of underwhelming.

I disagree with the Hero comments, but I guess everyone isn't going to agree on everything.

really nice writeup as always!

it just hurts a little that hasu and socke are described as "solid" casters. Especially Hasu was doing awesome. Way better than Cloud and almost on Grubby's level.
Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

Too hard on Hero. If you were to look at his twitter after he lost, you would have seen how crushed he was already. No need to kick him while he is already down. First people start hyping him as the best Protoss in the world and when he does not meet these expectations, whether at blizzcup or hsc, we think he did poorly. Let's all support the guy for the good player that he is.

There were no players who lost at hsc. Even if they were knocked out the first Round, I'm sure they had a great time and got to show their fans their personality.
